Introucing Barre at CDC
posted by Jamie Dingus on 05/08/2012 05:58 PM
We are proud to now be offering Barre™ a real food bar developed by two professional dancers. Their story: "As professional dancers, nothing's more important to us than nutrition. Buy just reading the labels on more energy bars was enough to throw us off balance! So we traded in our leotards for aprons and whipped up something of our own: a real food bar, made with wholesome, all-natural ingredients. Barre™ helps us maintain the peak level of performance necessary for ballet's unique marriage of artistry and athleticism. And now it's time for us to raise the curtain and share our creation with you!" Stop in today to check out one of their two tasty flavors: Black Swan Chocolate Berry or Pirouette Cinammon Pecan!
